JinkoSolar, a major Chinese module manufacturer, has revealed plans to supply 100MW of its Tiger Neo modules to Nyox Srl, an engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) firm. The modules, which boast a remarkable power conversion efficiency of 23.23%, utilize n-type tunnel oxide passivated contact (TOPCon) technology.
Nyox Srl, a joint venture owned by Edison Next and Polytec, aims to expedite the decarbonization of the industrial sector through this partnership, although specific deployment locations were not disclosed.
The CEO of Nyox Srl, Alex Bottini, emphasized the agreement’s significance in safeguarding customer investments by ensuring the delivery of high-quality products known for durability and performance. With the renewable energy sector’s development plans in mind, Nyox views this collaboration with JinkoSolar as pivotal to its renewable energy endeavors. The scale of the 100MW solar panel agreement underscores its importance, marking a substantial step towards accelerating renewable energy adoption.

JinkoSolar revealed this agreement at the KEY Exhibition in Rimini, Italy, highlighting that the modules were manufactured using renewable energy throughout their production chain. This commitment aligns with the company’s broader strategy to establish a renewable supply chain for its Tiger Neo modules, as previously announced in February. Such investments reflect a growing industry-wide emphasis on environmental sustainability across all facets of the solar supply chain.
The move towards low-carbon certification, as demonstrated by UL Solutions’ recent recognition of Trina Solar’s Vertex series modules, underscores the industry’s efforts to mitigate carbon emissions.
Currently, the standard solar cell production generates approximately 1,500kg/kW of carbon emissions, making emissions reduction critical for the solar sector’s long-term positive impact on global climate change. These developments highlight the imperative for solar industry players to adopt sustainable practices to advance the transition towards a greener future.
